À propos de cet audio

In this classic account of the French war in Indochina, Bernard B. Fall vividly captures the sights, sounds, and smells of the savage eight-year conflict in the jungles and mountains of Southeast Asia from 1946 to 1954. The French fought well to the last, but even with the lethal advantages of airpower, they could not stave off the Communist-led Vietnamese nationalists, who countered with a hit-and-run campaign of ambushes, booby traps, and nighttime raids. Defeat came at Dien Bien Phu, in 1954, setting the stage for American involvement and opening another tragic chapter in Vietnam's history.

I found the book to be boldly candid and extremely thorough while exploring all the details of the French and American involvement in Vietnam and SE Asia. Highly recommend.

The author is very passionate in the topic of Indochina, and it can be tell through his narrative. Some of the information are out of date, but it is a fundamental building block if you are interested in the 20th Vietnam’s conflict.
